One thing I can assure you; Whatever I find I will not post here in fear of being accused of having an agenda....

Have fun folks, all the best. :bigbird:

A nice boat is a nice boat, regardless of the name on the side. I just like learning the history of the Apache brand and seeing where all the components/people split off to.

Just today I learned there was a 24' Apache mold that someone may have popped boats out of. Craziness!

The engines are exactly like that as we speak, the #3's are still on it and for sale. Thanks for the shrink wrap offer, but I would love to do a huge garage. Here I go with another project. And hey it's nice to know I have a stalker. At least somebody cares.

Mark, finished my project and tested today!

There was lots of fog out there and couldn't do any WOT passes but so far I picked up 3 mph on cruise speed, the boat handles better and it's much more responsive to trim and throttle! :)

NYC poker run in a few weeks then it's off to Bracco's! :drink:

If He's selling parts I call dibs on the next rad radar mounted on the arch. It's tornado season here and I'd like to have one for my shop.
